– 1 slice of bread – 1 egg – 1 tbsp butter – Salt to taste – Pepper to taste – Optional: shredded cheese, chopped herbs, or hot sauce
Heat a small non-stick pan on medium and add the butter. Let it melt and coat the pan evenly without browning too much.
Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut a hole in the center of the bread slice—this is where your egg will go.
Place the bread in the hot buttered pan. Crack the egg into the hole and let it cook gently for 1 minute.
Sprinkle salt and pepper on the egg and edges of the bread for flavor. Add optional toppings like cheese if you like.
Flip the whole slice carefully using a spatula and cook for another 30–45 seconds, depending on how runny you want the yolk.
Remove from pan and place it on a plate. Add chopped herbs or hot sauce for an extra kick.
Serve hot and enjoy this crispy, buttery egg-in-toast treat. Perfect for breakfast, snack, or a midnight craving fix.
Jamie’s style is Californian since the technique is rooted in traditional French cooking, but the flavors are inspired by Latin and Asian food and locally sourced ingredients.
